This engraving by Hendrik Roosing depicts Willem George Frederik, Prince of Orange-Nassau, in an oval portrait. The prince, dressed in a military uniform with a decorative collar, looks directly at the viewer. The work, executed between 1790 and 1801, displays the meticulous detail and refined aesthetic of Roosing’s printmaking style, characteristic of the late 18th century. The inscription below the portrait identifies the subject and indicates his various titles. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum, this print is a small yet powerful testament to Roosing’s skill and the enduring fascination with portraiture during this era.
